Marshmallow Hot Cocoa Pop-Tarts

S'more was my go-to Pop-Tart in my teens, and I am a HUGE fan of all things marshmallow, so I picked these up on a whim. 

Once I got it home, reality and buyers remorse set in. "Cocoa", like, "birthday cake," or, "churro," are grandiose names given to basic-flavored products for added marketability. Nine times out of ten, these items are just chocolate, vanilla, and cinnamon flavored. Fancy names sell, and they're right. They got me! I'm going to try these toasted and untoasted to see if I'm being overly cynical. 

Limited Lemonade Licorice (Say that 3-times fast)

I really like licorice, especially fruit flavored ones. I've had strawberry, mango, green apple...but never lemon or lemonade. The combination sounded perfect to me, espeically for spring, so I immediately tossed it into my cart. 

The brand is Wiley Wallaby, which I'm not familiar with. I tend to go with Darrell Lea for my fruity licorice cravings, but this seems to be another well known and widely available brand. And how different can a fruity licorice really be? 

So. Many. Chips.

So. Many. Chips. 

Trash night again, time to do a lightning round to clear off the top of my fridge (where all my chips reside.)  Remember, this is a no judgement zone. 

Glowberry Prime - Aldi

Picked this up at Aldi, because it was Halloween-y and the packaging glows in the dark, but i'm not 100% sure what it is. 

Gathered purely through pop-culture-osmosis, I believe PRIME is the drink made by Logan Paul, but from what I understood, I thought these were all energy drinks that they contained a boatload of caffeine. This one says "hydration drink," and looks Gatorade-like, so that must not be the case. Reading the package, it contains 10% coconut water (which I don't normally vibe with), and it's caffeine free. So I guess they also make sports drinks now? With Mr. Beast making his version of Lunchables, kids today can have a full Youtuber-branded lunch experience. That's nuts. 

I'm a BIG YouTube consumer. I have the paid subscription for the ad-free version, use YouTube Music and frequently watch (and rewatch) massive video essays on topics ranging from the misconception of Yoko Ono's role in the Beatles to iCarly breakdowns. I'm on YouTube every single day, BUT I do not enjoy the Paul brothers, or their content. 

That said, I decided to try this because it was discounted and Halloween themed. Not because of who made it. So, is this actually any good? 

Disgusting Sleepover Rejects

No one, ever, expected these to taste good. That's why they're a novelty. I bought these for a fun sleepover with my little cousins, because trying gross things together is 7fun. I don't know how to explain it, but it just is.

As you can see, not too long after opening, the candy inside compressed into a puck. The compressed form makes it look like we consumed a lot, but I was actually the only one brave enough to give these a try. (After we gave them a smell.)

So it's not a question of "if" these are bad, the question is "how bad are they?"

Cookie Cola - Oreo x Coca-Cola (Cookies and Soda)

Another Coke Creations flavor that is only available in Zero Sugar. Boo. I seem to be in the minority of people who can't consume alternative sugars. Even so, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to give this a try. At least they're mini cans. 

Prebiotic Party - Poppi vs. Aldi vs. Olipop

I have a few days off work, so even though that Ollipop I tried before may or may not have caused me multiple days of stomach pain, I wanted to try the other flavors of Prebiotic sodas I already had in my fridge so I can toss the cans in the recycling.  

Trash Night Trio

 TRASH NIGHT!

Another well intentioned week where I -meant- to review a lot of food products but never found the time to sit down and write everything up. 

Tomorrow is trash night, and in a effort to clear out some junk I have lying around, here's a lighting round with some candid pics and my thoughts.
